As a general rule, funds can be withdrawn from the Investment account at any time. However, in specific cases we may apply restrictions which will be disclosed to you in advance. Your request for withdrawal will be processed by Fundvest within 1 (one) Business day provided there is a sufficient amount of funds available on the Investment account (funds related to Transactions that were not yet settled at the moment of processing the request for withdrawal may only be withdrawn after the transaction is fully settled).
While using the App 3 types of Orders may be placed: market Orders, limit Orders and auto-investment Orders:
Orders are placed by using the App and indicating all requested information in the standard form that will be provided to you. Instructions for Orders can only be given to Fundvest via the App. Instructions for Orders sent via email or using other methods will not be regarded by Fundvest as legitimate instructions for Orders and will not be accepted.
Orders will be checked by the internal Fundvest systems immediately upon receipt against the applicable limits, filters and trade surveillance indicators. If an Order cannot be executed due to insufficient funds balance or applicable Order limits or other reasons that may exist (including but not limited to restrictions with our Executing broker or other third parties, Execution venues or due to unusual financial market conditions), Fundvest is authorized not to accept an Order or delay the transmission of an Order. In such cases, we assume no liability to compensate you any potential difference in prices that existed at different time from the moment when you placed an Order until it was executed.
All Instructions for Orders provided via App are assumed to be given by the Client. Granting the access to the Investment account to any third party is strictly forbidden.
There is a time difference between the moment an Order is executed and the moment that the Transaction is fully settled. Orders that have been accepted and executed (intended Transaction has taken place) will be immediately booked in the Investment account, as well as amounts of payable fees. This means that the Transaction may be booked in the Investment account before it is settled. These bookings are conditional bookings and aimed at showing the economic position of the Client.
This may affect the Client’s investment strategy as, for example, the Client may not be able to fully execute their shareholders’ rights (e. g. by participating in Corporate action) with an unsettled Position before the date that Securities are traded without the rights deriving from and/or related to a Corporate action (ex-date).
Fundvest can refuse to accept an unclear, unusual or incorrect Order (e. g. Order placed after the termination of the Agreement). Fundvest will notify the Client in case of Order refusal (rejection). Fundvest is not liable for any losses if the Order is not executed or executed with a delay as a result thereof.
Before placing an Order you must make sure that all fields are completed and all values that you enter are correct. You must also understand that by placing an Order you take the risk of a loss.
Before submitting an Order to sell Securities, you must ensure that the required amount of relevant Securities is available on the account.
Before submitting an Order to buy Securities you must ensure that there is a sufficient amount of funds in the account to execute the Order and pay the applicable fees.
After accepting an Order, we will provide you with a confirmation in the App.
If an Order is rejected (by us or by the Executing broker) you will be also notified. Neither we, nor the Executing broker is obliged to provide any reasons or justify the rejection.
We will make every possible effort to ensure that you can submit an Order without any disruptions, however, we are not responsible for any losses or expenses related to improper operation of the internet or other communications/systems or the inability to use the functionality of submitting an Order, which occurred through no fault of Fundvest.
Orders are not accepted via phone, in writing or in any other form which is different to those described above.
Fundvest has the right to refuse to accept any Order without giving reasons, if acceptance of the Order would be against any legal requirements, rules of the Execution venue where the Order should be executed, good market practice, if the Client does not have sufficient funds and/or Securities; if the Client has any overdue debts to Fundvest or there are other reasons due to which the acceptance and/or execution of an Order is impossible.
The amount of funds or Securities necessary to fulfil your obligations arising from the Transaction concluded in accordance with the Order, including fees charged by Fundvest, is debited by us in the Investment account immediately after receiving the Order and without your separate instructions.
In the event where the funds in the Investment account are not in the currency to be paid or are insufficient, we will convert the necessary amount of funds according to the rate determined by us at the time.
In order to change the terms of the Order, the Client must cancel the previous Order and submit a new Order. The Client has the right to cancel the Order or change the terms of the Order until the Order has been executed.
All orders that have been placed in the App can be cancelled if they were not yet fully executed (in case of partial fill, the remaining amount of units that have yet not been executed, can be cancelled). Client can place a new order after the previous order cancellation. In addition, Client can modify the outstanding orders that have yet not been fully executed (e. g. change the amount of units intended to buy or sell or change the intended execution price (limit price).
An Order that has been submitted may be cancelled by the Executing broker, any regulatory authority or other third-party. This may also apply to certain Positions. We will seek to notify you of any such cancellations as much as reasonably possible.
We may have to suspend the provision of our services via the App without giving you prior notice which may result in suspension of your access to the App or certain functionalities thereof (e. g. your ability to place an Order), transmission of Orders that were already placed may also have to be suspended. This may happen due to the reasons listed below:
Orders of supervisory, law enforcement or other competent authorities.
Decisions of our partners (e. g. Executing brokers or Market data providers).
Changes in the financial markets and decisions of Issuers.
Measures aimed at prevention of fraud, market abuse, money laundering and/or terrorism financing (including implementation of international sanctions and restrictive measures), and/or other illicit activities applied either by us or our partners.
Use of technical systems and tools that belong to us or our partners but are part of our infrastructure becomes impossible or restricted. Where applicable Order regarding financial instruments that are the joint property of spouses can be submitted only by both spouses, except in cases where one of the spouses submits a power of attorney issued by the other spouse. Order regarding financial instruments that are the personal property of a spouse may be submitted only together with written evidence confirming the fact of personal ownership, with the exception of cases established by law.
If power of attorney of the spouse that was granted to the Client ceases to be valid for any reason (is revoked, expires, etc.), it is the obligation of the Client to notify Fundvest immediately. The Client, who fails to fulfil this obligation, assumes all the related risks and must compensate Fundvest for all losses incurred as a result.
Once we receive a properly placed Order, we transmit it for execution to the Executing broker.
By entering into the Agreement you consent to the Best execution policy that is made available to you on our website.
As the prices in the financial markets change quickly and unexpectedly, your Order may be executed at a worse price that it was at the moment of placing the Order. In such cases, we assume no liability to compensate you the difference in those prices.
When protecting Securities and funds belonging to our Clients, we take measures that ensure the protection of Clients’ property rights and prevent illegal use of assets belonging to the Clients. Funds placed on the Investment account for the purchase of Securities and funds received from the sale of Securities (including any other form of income received by Clients) owned by the Clients are the property of the Clients and cannot be subject to collection of debt of Fundvest.
Fundvest selects service providers for the purposes of custody and safeguarding with due professionalism and care and shall grant them the right to store the assets of its Clients with other service providers when the respective service provider cannot directly store these assets. Securities belonging to the Clients may be held in custody in omnibus account opened with another financial brokerage firm or commercial bank.
Fundvest maintains sound and effective organisational, administrative, accounting and internal control procedures and shall undertake other measures to ensure the protection and safety of the Securities and funds of its Clients.
Where applicable any information regarding Corporate actions that Fundvest receives will be forwarded to you without any delay by email thus ensuring that you have sufficient time to react to the information received.
However, you are obliged to independently inquire and evaluate information about Corporate actions and you may use public information sources for this purpose.
Where possible Fundvest transmits information regarding Corporate actions without delay after it is received from you, following a process allowing for compliance with the Issuer‘s deadline or record date.
You confirm that you are aware that in case of certain Corporate actions, Fundvest has the right to apply restrictions regarding Securities held by the Client as instructed by an authorised third party until the Corporate action is over without receiving instructions from the Client.
You agree to receive the dividends in cash, except in cases where it is not possible due to the Issuer’s decision to pay dividends in another form.
If case of certain Corporate actions (e.g. stock split, reverse stock split, merger or acquisition) where Client is eligible for fractional shares because of the ratio of distribution, the corresponding monetary compensation will be allocated by Fundvest to the Client instead of fractional shares. This applies in any circumstances irrespective of the method of compensation chosen by the Issuer. This also applies if in an event of a merger or acquisition, Client is eligible for a Security that is not available while using the services of Fundvest. In such case Client agrees to receive a corresponding monetary compensation as well.
For the purpose of calculating any adjustments Fundvest rounds any amounts below 0.01 to 0.00.
Fundvest is not liable for the losses incurred by the Client in relation to any of the above cases.
To guarantee the integrity of financial markets and increase investor confidence, market abuse (which typically relates to insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation) rules apply to all Clients. To be able to detect any potential market abuse cases we will monitor investment activities of our Clients. Any suspicious activity will be investigated by Fundvest and reported to relevant authorities.
Fundvest may limit the usage of its services, terminate the Agreement and close the Investment account, also apply any other restrictions which may be temporary or permanent where there are any suspicions of market abuse or other abnormal trading practices (such as exploiting obvious errors, speculative, abusive or other malicious actions). Clients are notified and the reasons are explained where possible, unless providing such information would cause negative consequences to Fundvest or any affected third party. Fundvest shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Client because of such restrictions. In case Fundvest or any of its partners incurs losses resulting from the above-described activities of the Client, the Client must compensate them and Fundvest has a right to obtain profits gained by Clients through abusive behavior as determined by Fundvest at any time.
In cases where Fundvest is affected by any actions of Execution venues, clearing houses or any other third parties, Fundvest will take all reasonable measures to avoid or reduce any negative consequences to its Clients, but it will not be liable for any loss suffered by the Clients because of such restrictions.
